IDES

Beware these IDES at your peril, because to miss out is to deprive yourself of a thoroughly memorable degustation experience, one that has earned the IDES team a hat from The Age Good Food Guide and a star from the Australian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide. With a chef boasting an Ezard, Royal Mail Hotel and Attica pedigree, an appetite for experimentation, and a perennially hot Smith Street address, this place is as excellent on paper as it is in person. Savour six courses, fine wines and an unpretentious vibe to boot.
